Brachyleptura champlaini Casey was relegated to synonymy with Anoplodera vagans (Olivier) by Swaine and Hopping (1928), and was so regarded until Linsley and Chemsak (1976) restored the status of both Casey\u27s species and the genus Brachyleptura

L. Goslingl Brachyleptura champlaini Casey was relegated to synonymy with Anoplodera vagans (Olivier) by Swaine and Hopping (1928), and was so regarded until Linsley and Chemsak (1976) restored the status of both Casey's species and the genus Brachyleptura. The species occurring in Michigan is B. clwmplaini and not Brachyleptura vagans as recorded by Gosling and Gosling (1976). Because of confm,ion between these two species in the literature, Linsley and Chemsak were not able to list a host plant for B. champlain!. I have recently been successful in rearing this species from decayed bolts of red pine, Pinus res!nosa Ail., collected near Klinger Lake in St. Joseph County. Michigan. It seems probable that records for Pinus and TS/lga as hosts for B. vagans (Linsley and Chemsak 1976) refer to B. champlain!. Reared specimens included both morphs, one with concolorous, reddish-brown elytra and the other with black marginal and sutural vittae, as is characteristic of the population in southwestern Michigan.
